Bob&Sigi are fantastic landlords. They did more than we'd ever expect. They provided free wifi though it's not included in the rent, bought presents for us and our kids we found on arrival, bought an inflatable pool for our kids and even provided olive oil, charcoal, Raki, Ouzo etc. When I was having problems turning on the gas for cooking Bob instantly called me to help. The house was spotlessly clean and everything was very new. The location was great since we like being on our own in peace and quiet. The house is located in the middle of nowhere between Spili and Mourne. We recommend a 4w-drive car to reach the house since the roads are pretty tough to drive. We loved the fact we used only solar power for four weeks and we never had power cuts or other problems with the house being off-grid.

If you wish to write, paint, live...come to the fairytale old village of Kato Mixorouma, and stay in a stone-built cottage in a garden flooded with flowers and trees on the bank of the river full of ducks and gees, and let the singing of the birds and the splashing of the river rock you to sleep and calm you. The property contains two small cottages, approximately 50sq m each in a 1000 sq m lot. The cottage in this ad has a small but practical kitchen, a living room with fireplace and a bathroom which is access through the living room and is semi open air. The sleeping area for 2, is on the built-in mezzanine. The cottages are quite simple, but appropriate. Mrs Angela, the owner, will offer true Cretan hospitality during your stay.
The History of Kato Mixorouma
The village is in a very calm place surrounded by mountains right on the river. It is in the old historical village of Kato Mixorouma where very few people currently live, as the new village is built about 200-300 meters away. The village has old houses of traditional cretan architecture, which we are now in the process of trying to get the state to fund in order to preserve and define it as a traditional village. Here is a little bit of history….The settlement of Kato Mixorouma is referenced in the first known recording of settlements in Crete by Fr.Barozzi in 1577 and in the Basilicata in 1630. It is also referenced in the Turkish census in 1659 and in the Egyptian census in 1834.
The Kato Mixorouma is built on the north bank of the river which starts in Spili, running year round with lush vegetation dominated by trees, willows, myrtles, oleanders, reeds and citrus. The spectacle that the visitor sees is impressive. The beauty truly captivates the senses. It is a picturesque village with stone houses of special architecture with three mills which (despite the ravages of time) are characteristic monument of the life of the local residents combined with the exploitation of natural resources.
One of the three water mills had multiple uses as it was used in parallel as a flour mill, olive mill and a fabric mill (to create more coherent fabrics). All water mills are located in the same building with three separate wells. So the village soon became an innovative industrial center of the time and we can understand the importance of Kato Mixorouma in the local economy and its contribution to the further development of the region. Similarly, the vegetation along the river gave the raw material for the basketry craft to be developed and become an exquisite craft. Villagers still create lovely baskets in Mixorouma.
Hints & Tips from the Owner:
There is a supermarket, bakery and plenty of "kafenia" (traditional coffee shops) located at about 200m in the new village of Mixorouma. About 2.5km away, in Spili, you can find everything you need from services (post office, bank, pharmacy, health center etc) to coffee shops, super markets, taverns and more. From Kato Mixorouma you can explore both the northern and southern part of the island, the beautiful coastal towns of Ag. Galini, the famous beaches of Triopetra and Agios Pavlos, Preveli lake and monastery, the breathtaking Kourtaliotiko gorge, the less known beaches of Ammoudi, Sxinaria, Damnoni and lastely the cosmopolitan village of Plakias. The city of Rethymnon is about 20km away for plenty of nightlife options. For the most adventurous, the E4 trail, which begins just next to the cottage, will eventually lead you to the magnificent Preveli lake!

(We were in the "upper" apartment fit for two persons.) We - young couple - had a great time in Angelas Paradise - and a paradise it truly was! We weren't quite sure what to expect and then you bet that we were overwhelmed by it. A fair warning first: Expect a apartment close to nature, not full of luxury. The "luxury" is provided in other terms here: You're about alone in a vast abundance of greens, flowers, trees, can hear the bells from goats and sheeps nearby (other side of the river), can watch the semi-wild ducks (they will agree to eat what you feed them, but they make clear that they prefer to not be bothered :-) ) that occupy the lower of many terraces. The building itself is clean (stone/concrete floor!) and functional, and adorably decorated. Some cooking plates allowed us to cook/heat food, there's a sink. The bathroom is attached to the building, but there's direct access to it from the apartment we were using. The surrounding area is interesting. A full village - deserted long ago (except the church, which is renovated, just like the apartments below it - that's this offer). It's a good origin for wandering through Cretan nature. The bed is well and the sheets were clean - also, clean towels were provided. The place is a creation of caring and love, and a clear vision. A success! I would also suggest it for groups of people - you can't even disturb other people, since there are none in the area around you (except maybe a shepherd now and then) :-) It's a bit challenging to find the place - but a friend of Angela was there to show us the way. Thanks! Unfortunately we were out when Angela came around so we only met on the last day. That didn't stop Angela to leave food for us in our absence - delicious! And plenty, too. We ate two full days from it - so tasty! Thanks again! Overall strongly suggested to people who want some time off, close to nature. I don't want it to sound too esoteric (it's great for that, too, I guess!), but it's a place for the soul.

Our visit to Angela's stone cottage was everything promised and more! The property is beautiful and quiet and felt like we were miles from anyone else, despite being a short walk from the little village of Mixourroma. It's a short drive to Spili where shopping and restaurants abound, and only 30 minutes to the beautiful beaches at Plakias. There is also a little cafe and a mini-market in the village for basic needs, and even free Wifi. When we return to Crete, we will definitely stay at Angela's Paradise again!

Angela's place is truly a little paradise. The traditional stone house sits in a gorgeous multi-level garden on the bank of a river. From the roof of the neighboring (empty) building there are great views of the surrounding hills during the day and the stars at night. Our last night, there was a birthday party in the village and we were treated to the sound of traditional greek music drifting down to the house. Nice surprises included the outdoor shower and fresh plums to be picked from the garden. Angela herself was so sweet and really went out of her way to make our visit special. The house was stocked with home made wine, raki, bread, olive oil, stuffed vegetables, even some produce and eggs in the fridge. There's a bakery down the road with plenty of good breads, cheeses, as well as some general items. Would recommend a car as the place is a little isolated (which is its charm!) but there are many places within 10-30 minutes drive (Spili, Plakias, Preveli ...).

Gabriel2012-07-15T00:00:00Z

Angela's house is very magical...and the gardens are completely stunning. The river at the bottom and the ducks. Beautiful. We had a wonderful time and Angela really looked after us. Thank you.

Wendy2015-08-24T00:00:00Z

Angela's little house was a complete delight - small, rustic, and a great place to spend a few days - we would have stayed longer if we could. The house is in a small hamlet, and is the only habitable building apart from Angela's other cottage, which is further down the garden, close to the river. It is approached by a short footpath,from the parking place, and you reach the cottage via stone steps which drop down through the terraced garden which is full of flowering shrubs - and at night there are lights which transform the garden into a magical paradise....Everything about the house was charming - and Angela was charming too. She brought us some lovely cheese pies. This is a really relaxing ad enriching place to stay - nothing but peace and quiet, and the occasional passing flock of sheep. Bliss.

Angela's was the best Airbnb experience I've ever had! Her place was cozy and ideal. She's the sweetest woman, and she brought by delicious homemade Greek food twice during my stay. There are geese, ducks, and a couple of cats that hang out near the creek at the cabin, which is really cool. I'd definitely stay at Angela's again.

Whitney2016-07-13T00:00:00Z

Angela gave us a very friendly welcome with the best moussaka. She met us the village bakery and led us on a very short drive to the property, which matched the description and photographs. We were in the lower property which had more space and was very secluded and benefited from more shade. It was well located for visiting both the north and less developed south coast.

Nicholas2016-04-24T00:00:00Z

We felt immediately at home after the heartwarming welcome of Angela, and were stunned about this little paradise near the murmuring river. From the house we strolled around in the surrounding villages and mountains. Every morning I walked up to the bakery for fresh bread, and every evening "our" 2 geese and 2 cats came asking for food. And of course we felt surprised by the homemade delicious moussaka, pasticio, cheese cookies, eggs..... Thanks a lot Angela! David & Ans

Ans2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

Angela's little paradise is the perfect place to relax and calm down! Located right next to a little river (you will see swans in the morning), the two cute little stonehouses offer all you need. The place was very clean, very quiet (we had no receiption at all) and romantic. As we were there during automn, it got a bit breezy at night, so don't forget a warm pyjama ;) Angela is a very lovely lady, she was very warm and welcoming. And she makes the best mousaka :)

Jennifer2015-10-21T00:00:00Z

The nearest town is Spili at 4km away where you can find a supermarket, ATM, pharmacy and cafes and restaurants. The house is in an ideal location if you are looking to escape the tourist crowds but you are still close to the famous beaches of the Libyan Sea. Triopetra, Agios Pavlos, Ligkres, Agia Fotia are about 15-20km away while Plakias, Ammoudi, Souda and Preveli are about 25-30km away.
• • Visiting Southern Rethymno. What to expect
• Beaches- Driving along the winding roads one feels here as though heading into the wild in a land far removed from mass tourism. Between the seaside village of Aghia Galini in the east and the beach of Peristere to the west there are numerous long, broad beaches to discover. Some are sandy, others covered in smooth, gray pebbles, but all are lapped by deep, clean waters.
Three imposing rocks jutting out of the sea give Triopetra its name, a beach that could fit 15,000 people but is rarely frequented by more than 100. A perfect place to unroll one’s yoga mat and meditate to the sound of the sea.Ligkres is famous for its sunset while wild Aghios Pavlos also offers ample space to get away from it all.
Here at the top of the cliffs you can see as far as the island of Gavdos, Greece’s southernmost point. Preveli, is very popular but worth a visit for its incredible natural beauty and a swim where the river Kourtalioti meets the sea.Overall southern Rethymno is great for those looking to find a remote stretch of sand away from thumping beach bars and jabbering crowds. That said, for those looking for resort-style amenities the beaches at Plakias and Aghia Galini have you covered.
• Home style cooking- Here it is all about simple food made with fresh, local ingredients (and when we say ‘local’ we mean ‘from the garden right behind you’). Think dishes like fresh beans cooked in tomato sauce, or organic goat with root vegetables. Here you’ll also see a fisherman pull his catch from the waters of the Gulf and take it straight to the kitchen, as happens in Aghia Fotia, a taverna seemingly untouched by time built right on the shore. Much of the produce is grown just out back. Incredible food for incredibly reasonable prices.
• Treks and trails - The Kourtaliotiko Gorge is one of the most beautiful in Crete and walkable via a trail that runs 2km along the side of the river until reaching the beach of Preveli and its palm grove. For a trail with a more barren, wind-swept beauty, try the hike from Agia Fotia to the beach of Triopetra. Meanwhile horseback riding is also available with trails cutting through olive-groves and crossing streams, while for children donkey rides are also available.
For a walk through a charming village try Spili, where you can refresh yourself after a walk through the stone-paved alleys with the water from the Lion Fountains, an impressive row of 25 carved lion heads. Or visit the Preveli Monastery which played an important role in Crete’s revolutionary war in 1866.
• The feasts- In August the biggest such ‘panigyria‘ take place in the villages Mixorouma, Kerame, Aktounta, Akoumia, Spili and Lambini. Cretan folk music may not feature heavily in your everyday playlists, but it is still very much worth attending one of these events where you can mingle with the locals, and those who have left for bigger cities but still return every summer. Make sure to accompany your drinks with grilled meat or the traditional ‘gamopilafo‘ (literally ‘wedding rice’), a dish made of rice and goat which is traditionally served at celebrations.

At Spili quests can find anything they possibly need: super market, tavernas - restaurants, butcher, pharmacy, medical center, souvenir shops.
This particular villa is ideal for quests who wish to relax, enjoy the beautiful nature, love activities such as hiking, exploring, visiting isolated beaches, diving in sea caves! But the best about this villa is that within 5-20 minutes you are in amazing beaches - away from mass tourism- like Ligres, Agios Pavlos, Triopetra and others with seafront restaurants.
